HI I have a question, when I use SLIDINGWINDOW option in trimmomatic, what does exact mean for the windownsize, like SLIDINGWINDOW:4:15, what is 4 mean? I am more familiar with fastx-toolkit, that use percent like 75 mean %75 base must be over the quality like 20. Does this number 4 in slidingwindow has the same function?
Thank you
suppose my reads have 100bp length, if I want to filter these reads with 80% bases under 20 quality, should I use Slidiningwindow as 80:20, does my understanding right?
